The Ruk is now my highest level character ever. He is level 60.

Not all that thrilled with Hellfire Peninsula though. Bloody Death Knights.

Okay, time to backtrack a little. Hitting 60 was big for a few reasons:

1) It gave me my Beast Mastery ability to tame Elites.
2) It gave me my Epic Mount.

Number 1 was good in that I went out and tamed Belle, my Devilsaur. She’s going to be my dps beast. I’m levelling her up to 60, and once she’s caught up with Marv and Ruk she’ll have to be switched out to maintain her levelling. I’ll be anxious to try her out on the testing dummy once she hits 60. Marv is a gorilla and does some decent dps on his own. She’d better crush him on Recount, or she’s out of a job.

I’m what you call an equal-opportunity hunter. Do your job or get bounced, regardless of sex, race, or species.

Number 2 was a big chunk of change. Handy though. I never appreciated the speed until I got it. Nice.

My plan is to continue on with quests, keeping my pets up to speed with me, and getting some of that nice Leatherworking gear. Somewhere in there I should probably try an instance or two.

Random Thoughts

– I’m not thrilled with the blog’s layout. If I had the time, or inclination, I might consider looking at something a little darker. Perhaps a banner that didn’t break the table.

– Speaking of darker, still not getting into the Death Knights. In fact, these kids are starting to annoy me. It’s not the best time to be lv 55-60, because these guys are all over the place trying to power through quests. Usually at my expense. I had to kill a spawn in a crypt. One DK had cleared out everything up top, which was fine I suppose. There wasn’t anything there that Marv and I couldn’t handle. But the DK who ran down while I was waiting for the dude to respawn, ganked him, then took off before I could even get his name, can go drown in a lake of troll piss. Remember my last post when I talked about grouping with another hunter so we could both finish the same quest? Be more like me, and less like Dick Knights.

– Somehow managed to get 58 before I left for work this morning. Two quest hand-ins, a smattering of grinding, and all was good. I sent myself some upgrades, hence the urgency to hit 58 asap. Only a few more levels before I get my Beast Mastery, and I’m not sure what to do with it. I’m happy with Marv, but I guess I should look at picking up a single target tank. I’m thinking a worm. Maybe, just for kicks, I’ll grab that core hound puppy in the Dranei area. I’d have to look up their specials before considering it though. For most of what I do, Marv or Dakota have been taking care of business just fine.
